Robert Gerhard i Ottenwaelder is one of the most significant 20th-century European composers. The Chamber Season’s first concert is part of the collective celebration of the 50th anniversary of his death and the 125th anniversary of his birth. A group of leading Catalan performers will participate in the performances and the concert includes three major works based on texts with popular roots from Gerhard’s vocal repertoire. The songs display Gerhard’s most concise and formalistic pieces, but also his most lyrical and exuberant ones.

Program

• Robert Gerhard: Vuit cançons populars catalanes for vocals and piano
• Robert Gerhard: Sis chansons populaires françaises for vocals and piano
